No, it works correctly, it's just not what you seem to expect. The 
order in which addresses are leased is not defined - although there 
is an implementation dependent (and undocumented) order.

As Bruce says, once the server has been running for a while, address 
allocation will appear to be random, although it will actually be in 
a documented order (least recently used first) as required by the 
relevant RFCs..
